Causes of homophobia must be looked into deeply. Most men are disgusted by the thought of sucking a cock. Out of curiosity I tried it a few times and discovered it not to be disgusting but had a lack of eroticism. After the learning experience I never condemned men who found cock sucking enjoyable–it is all a matter of taste. My recommendation is that one of the requirements for receiving a motor vehicle license is that the applicant must suck a cock. I am sure that it would go a long way to end Homophobia.

Naysayers keep telling us until they are blue in the face that great, progressive agendas are impossible. Cynical naysayers only see roadblocks while the rest of us see opportunities and obstacles to overcome. Naysayers embrace cynical apathy while we embrace fortitude and persistance.

This is yet another reason why I really don’t respect those kind of naysayers and I really love progressive activists that never, ever give up the goddam fight despite them.

Long term, this could be a win for social conservatives, even if they don’t realize it. When the LGBT community was marginalized, it tended to revolve around a rather liberal lifestyle. The two groups were diametrically opposed.

Getting married, having kids, etc. is exactly the “family values” you hear of so often. And being accepted makes it easier for people adopt the politics and mores of people that once opposed them. If conservatives would STFU and focus on their core values, then a fair chunk of the population that they excluded would join them.

But that “if” is going to be difficult for some people to understand and accept.
